Spanish term or phrase: ..o acudiente
Well, I think acudiente means "Guardian", but I am not sure...in reality I am not satisfied with my interpretation of the paragraph where this appears:

Los padres de familia o acudiente deberán atender las llamadas ordinarias o extraordinarias que les haga la Dirección del Palntel para conocer los problemas de sus acudidos (estudiantes), lo mismo que las que le hicieren los profesores consejeros...

O sea:

Parents or guardians must (answer/attend???) the (calls/meetings??) made by the Office of the Principal of the School in order to find out about problems that their children/? may have,.... (Profesores consejeros???)

Thanks!

Explanation:
regular or special conferences held by the school Principal, just the same as the conferences held with the school counsellors, in order to discuss any problems that the students may be having.

That´s what I get out of the text...

Parents or family members should keep appointments made by the school administration ...


Explanation:
so they can find out about their children's problems, just as the teachers/counselors have done [kept the appointments for meetings].

That's the way I understand it. I have frequently had an aunt, uncle or grandparent show up for a student conference when the parents couldn't make it.
